The Charities are a West Coast band that blends soul, funk, and jazz. With a tight rhythm section, smooth melodies, and crisp background vocals, their music captures diverse influences while staying grounded in a modern style. The bands sound reflects the energy of Southern California, offering a dynamic, straight-ahead approach to music that emphasizes authenticity.Their latest release, Fatal Attraction (out on Colemine Records), is a piercing take on loves dangers. Written from a dream by frontman Brock Van Pelt and brought to life by Anthony Masino at Penrose Records, it channels the nostalgic charm of the oldies while pushing classic soul into new territory. Its a song that feels like a lost relic, one you swear youve heard before but could never quite place.
